Malaysians

I flip open the newspapers and there is not one page that I go through that racism isn't there.

Racism.

Why has Malaysia gotten till this stage?

Why can't the races get along with each other like Singapore? For obvious reasons I will not mention (here or anywhere for that matter), it is depressing seeing our motherland in this state.

Malaysia is a beautiful country. Without our 3 major races, Malaysia would be nothing. Let's be honest. Each of the races are vibrant and colourful in their culture, history and ways of life. There is no denial of that. And to incorporate all these different things into everyday living - together, makes it even more beautiful.

I have best friends who are Indian AND Malay and I find them amazing and would not wish to be torn apart from them.

There is only one thing that is common in all Malaysians.

All Malaysians are bound by FOOD.

Let me give you a brief description as to why each race plays an important part in our nation's growth.

CENDOL. You tell me which person can resist cendol. Even those patients with bursting cholestrol levels will die for this local dessert (of which origin is unknown to me). Indian, Malays and Chinese. We've all had it, and we all have loved it for what it is. A cold, tasty treat. And we're happy standing under the hot sun slurping on these yummy babies till the last drop of ice.

Cendol is basically made out of ice, santan (coconut milk), red beans (paste), gula melaka, green jelly worm thingys and sometimes pulut.

Ok. We can split this up in terms of ingredients to each race.

Santan comes from the indians (because its usually the indian men who sell them at the market? - zzzz -__-'' don't kill me please! ) they also add lots of it to their delicious curries.

Red beans come from chinese people. red bean mooncake, red bean bun. ice also comes from the chinese i think because of the ice balls back then!

gula melaka - definitely the malays. i think i saw it a few times when i was a kid on tv3 when there weren't many programs in the day so they'd just schedule educational programs such as gula melaka and rubber tapping etc etc.

i believe the pulut and the green worm thingy also comes from the malays- might be wrong, so open for discussion. but everytime i hear d word pulut i think of the malays and their ketupats (YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)

ANYWAY, this post is getting out of hand because I thought I'd give a witty and charming post on how our 3 races should get along with each other to produce an even better country. But alas it turned out to be cringey. and sad. and pathetic. I am depressed with my own writing skills.It has gone down the drain since my secondary school days. ANYWAY.....

Just like this desert. If is lacking of any ingredient, it'd taste awful definitely. imagine drinking ice with just gula melaka and the other condiments, or pure santan with gula melaka or ice with santan. Everything needs to be combined to get the greatest combination of all. The perfect dessert for such a hot weathered country.

I sincerely hope that all Malaysians will get along with one another. Don't let a matchstick destroy the whole forest. Malaysia has come too long a way to be split apart just like that.

1 Malaysia. 1 Country. 1 Vision.

Lame, I know. I tried to be cool, but didn't come off exactly!
